I saw the theatre being demolished, which had to be sometime between 1960 and 1962. I know a lot of people were upset. According to the Film Daily Yearbook 1939, the seating capacity was listed at 986.
The Palace actually stood across the street from the Fairfield Federal Bank (which is pictured above). It was demolished and replaced with a parking lot around 1960.
Sadly, the Broad Theatre disappeared in 1958. There is a drive-through for the bank on its site.
The hand painted mural of General Sherman marching through Georgia was removed and installed in the gymnasium of General Sherman Junior High School.

Ah! Great photo above of the Palace on Main Hill. Ignore my comment above about the bank photo.
